This beauty features a resonant mahogany body crowned with a stunning flamed maple top in that rich Amber (AM) finish. The grain pops like wildfire – deep, fiery figuring that shifts and dances under the lights. It’s not just a top… it’s a killer top that’ll have everyone staring while you’re busy melting faces. Talk about dropping jaws and dropping bombs – this axe is drop-dead gorgeous and built to perform!
Specs & Highlights:
• Body: Mahogany with thick flamed maple top and binding
• Neck: Smooth maple Ultra Wizard profile – fast, comfortable, and perfectly set up
• Fingerboard: Rosewood with 24 jumbo frets and classy offset abalone dot inlays
• Electronics: DiMarzio humbucker/single/humbucker combo (that classic J-Custom punch: warm, articulate neck; glassy middle; screaming bridge)
• Hardware: Lo-Pro Edge double-locking tremolo – dives like a dream and returns to pitch perfectly
• Finish: Amber with that vintage 2001 glow
Professionally set up for optimal playability and tone, this guitar is dialed in with silky low action, spot-on intonation, and zero buzz. It plays like a much more expensive guitar (because it was). Whether you’re chasing modern shred, classic rock crunch, or pristine cleans, this RG2680 delivers with authority and soul.
Limited production J-Custom from 2001-2002. These don’t hit the market often, especially in this kind of shape. No major dings, dents, or issues – just honest light play wear that adds to the character.
If you’ve been hunting a top-tier Ibanez with serious flame and pro-level performance, your search ends here. This one has the looks, the playability, and the tone to top all the rest.
Serious players only. DM for high-res photos, videos of the grain and play test, or to arrange a try-out. Priced to move to a good home – don’t sleep on this killer!
Warning: Side effects may include spontaneous riffing, uncontrollable grin, and severe envy from other guitarists. 🎸💥
